Definitely does. Accepting fascism as a force which is currently/ recently existing and understanding its dynamics in those terms make it much more understandable and squares it up with the actual problems that we confront today. I think the biggest strength of this analysis is that: it is entirely relevant to current contradictions which isn’t true of most other definitions
Hmm I like this one, it squares with something I’ve said a lot which is that “conservatism” describes the level of socially acceptable fascism.
